Built around the individual student
Science, understood.
Every student approaches science with different experiences, strengths and goals. Some need to rebuild foundations or regain confidence; others want to deepen their understanding, refine examination skills or pursue ambitious academic targets.
At Auxesis Education, I tailor one-to-one sessions to the individual learner. I identify what they understand, explore what is getting in the way and facilitate meaningful progress through questioning, guided practice and active engagement.
My aim is to help students develop stronger scientific understanding, greater confidence and the ability to apply knowledge independently.
Less memorising. More understanding.
About Amanda
More than 25 years in science education.
I’m Amanda D’Souza, a science teacher and tutor with more than 25 years of experience in Canada and international schools. I am an Ontario Certified Teacher, hold Qualified Teacher Status in England, and have worked as an IB Biology Assistant Examiner since 2013. I continue to examine IB Biology papers and moderate Biology Internal Assessments, with experience assessing HL Paper 2 against IB criteria. I bring that experience to tutoring, but the relationship is still personal: I want to know the learner, not just the course they are taking.
Getting started
Tutoring starts with a conversation rather than a commitment.
We start with a free Meet & Greet to discuss the student’s course, current challenges and goals and get a feel for working together. This is usually my first conversation with the student; parents are welcome to take part. Adult students can enquire and arrange their own tutoring. If Auxesis feels like a good fit, we agree on the first steps and begin.
